Setting a maximum population for Albemarle.Â I know one way to start with the reduction of the population – they could lead the charge out of Albemarle by moving and/or not having kids. The debate will be interesting and enlightening, I hope, so long as vitriol does not take a front seat. All sides could probably learn something from each other.

I really like Trulia – I really do. My listings are there. But come on –

My sarcasm aside, where do we draw the line as to who is allowed to enter? I am probably wrong, but the folks running these organizations are not “from here” – they have come, made nice lives for themselves, etc. and for that I do not begrudge them. But if we say that the optimum, maximum population is X, what happens if we are at X and then there is a rash of pregnancies? Draw straws to see who leaves? Just making the argument –

I married in (my wife’s a native), but what about the other saps who don’t have that privilege? 🙂
